one family's life in hong kong
It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith. … I mean living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures, experiences and perplexities. In so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God.

He's just trying to show you that YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME, MOOOOM! You know, asserting himself. Kids are fun like that. ; )
BTW I left you a long comment re: naps on my blog. (Short version: I could do nothing to lengthen his naps, they eventually got longer on their own at about 1yr.)
I did the very same thing with my boys, consistently I've called myself "Mama" and all three call me Mom. So now that they are all young men I sign cards and e-mails to them with "Moma" as sort of a compromise... and I do like to think of my mothering style as somehow vaguely associated with the Museums of Modern Arts of the world...
Ha! I love that.... I can only aspire to have my mothering associated with such institutions ... that said, have you been to the HK Art museum yet? We really enjoyed it, much more than we expected. I think there's a blog post somewhere in the archives about it ...
